Bizen Osafune Sukesada katana c. 1521 (Daiei period)

[Ray Singer]

Listing a very nice koto Bizen katana with a vivid utsuri, having kanteisho attributing the sword to Bizen Osafune Sukesada of the Daiei period (circa 1521). This is early within the Sukesada lineage, and several smiths are said to have been working during this time period. The blade has a 66.36cm nagasa, and is in polish with gold foil habaki and shirasaya. It is also accompanied with an oshigata by the previous owner.

$4,250 (+ shipping & PP)

Greetings Ray,

 

Would you be interested in any trades towards this sword? I would love to have this polished by Mr. Hyashi, papered by the NBTHK, and inked with a sayagaki.

 

Thanks,

Khalid

Hi,

 

Nice one Ray! Would be great to have it and make my own Daisho set of Bizen Osafune ... to bad I can't afford it right now
